Why I Am Running for the Board of Education

I am running for the Board of Education because I believe that all students deserve accessible, quality education that emphasizes and values their identities. I believe that South Windsor is on the right path toward inclusivity.

I am looking forward to having the opportunity to continue developing those principles for our town and school system. 

My Vision for South Windsor

I hope we can continue the momentum of diverse hires in our district, and work with the Equity and Inclusion Director to develop comprehensive faculty and staff training.

I would also like to work on making sure our mental and social services are accessible for families who need them during this ongoing pandemic.
